ORLANDO, Fla. -- Larry Warford watched the NFC Championship game not even realizing what was at stake for him.
The New Orleans Saints guard witnessed the Eagles thump the Vikings far off the beaten path at his friend's house on a couch in Kentucky. He knew he was an alternate for the Pro Bowl at the original announcement. It drifted far from his mind.
Then the rest played out in warp speed.
"The game ended and I was sitting on my friend's coach chillin' and I saw a call from New Orleans," Warford said.
